Hyderabad: Senior Congress Party leader and MLC Shabbir Ali ridiculed Telangana chief minister KCR by saying that he was tiger here... while he in Delhi he was a cat. Pointing out the differential attitude of the CM, he told that while he was asking for Rs 40,000 crores for the state, while in Delhi he demanded only Rs 450 crores.

Speaking to the media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here, Shabbir Ali pointed out that KCR should have spoken about the promises made for the state during the bifurcation of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, MSP and compensation for the farmers in the state. "Instead he is afraid of PM Modi," he said and questioned that when Karnataka government was providing bonus to the dal farmers, why was the Telangana government, with surplus budget, was unable to do it.

He called up on TRS stop accusing Congress for all things and start providing MSP for the farmers. Shabbir Ali pointed that the present government was not concerned about the protest of the farmers while it was more interested in blaming Congress for all the things.

The MLC questioned MP Kavitha about the status of the proposed Baba Ramdev's turmeric factory. He informed that he was suspecting the government of not sending the ST and Minority Bill to the central government for approval. The Congress leader said that all the TRS MPs have turned into spineless puppets, while the MPS from Andhra Pradesh were fighting for their state.
